Clean energy exports could provide 395,000 new jobs
A recent Sunshot report by Accenture released by the Business Council of Australia and the Australian Council of Trade Unions, in partnership with WWF-Australia and the Australian Conservation Foundation, demonstrates just how significant Australia’s renewable export opportunity is.
The report outlines this incredible opportunity that would see Australia’s economy boosted by $89 billion and almost 400,000 jobs created for Aussie workers in regional areas.
A global shift towards renewable power and clean energy goods and services is already well underway, and early action can make Australia a leader and position workers and businesses for the future.
The report finds that Australia’s largest clean export opportunities are in renewable hydrogen and ammonia, green metals, critical minerals, battery manufacturing, education and training, and engineering, ICT, and consulting services.
These industries offer the opportunity to create tens of thousands of well-paid jobs, mostly in regional areas and accessible by workers across all levels of skill and education.
This is just one of the many reasons why we are calling for Australia to become a Renewable Energy Export Superpower. Australia has some of the best renewable resources in the world, but other global economies are investing in them at a far greater rate than we are. We have a choice: we can risk being left behind or we can harness an enormous opportunity.

We have found the PANDA to be an invaluable acquisition to our company, using it on projects ranging from Remote Community Housing in Central Australia to a NASA Rocket Launch Facility in Arnhem Land, NT.
We find the Insitutek team extremely helpful and their knowledge of the equipment and its capabilities is a great resource for our staff.
The PANDA probe is giving us and the construction team very useful insight with immediate feedback on the compaction being achieved on a major new rail construction project in QLD. We have two teams working daily using PANDA DCP’s and the Automatic Hammer on the rail formation, enabling real time decision making with confidence, based on the highly repeatable results.

A bridge approach transition zone is the area where a road or railway track transitions from the rigid structure of a bridge to the flexible embankment or road pavement, aiming to minimize abrupt changes in stiffness and potential issues like differential settlement.
The 5th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics (ICTG), held in Sydney, marked a milestone in the geotechnical and transportation engineering community. Organized by the UTS Transport Research Centre (UTS-TRC), this prestigious event brought together over 450 delegates from 30 countries, making it a truly global gathering for experts in the field.
The ANCOLD 2024 Conference, held in Adelaide, brought together industry professionals in dam engineering, safety, and sustainability. With 624 delegates in attendance, the event provided a collaborative platform for experts to exchange knowledge on the latest developments in dam infrastructure, safety protocols, and environmental considerations. Key discussions focused on advancing dam engineering practices in response to climate change, improving risk-informed decision-making, and exploring new innovations in dam safety.
